Business Developer for DACH Market

We’re looking for a Business Developer to join our 5-person Client Acquisition Team (CAT) and help us grow our presence in the DACH region.

Our approach is different from standard sales:

• Collaboration first - every opportunity is handled in pairs (tech + business)
• Smart outreach - events, talks, and strategic marketing support instead of cold calling
• Full-cycle involvement - from the first hello to project delivery and long-term client partnerships

What you’ll do

• Identify and develop new business opportunities
• Build and maintain long-term client relationships
• Represent Applifting at events and networking opportunities
• Lead proposals and negotiations, ensuring win‑win outcomes
• Collaborate closely with tech leads and architects on tailored solutions
• Manage CRM and follow up on leads systematically
• Support existing clients as a key partner throughout the project lifecycle

What we’re looking for

• Native-level German (or very close to it), communicative English
• Based in Germany or any German‑speaking country
• Open to frequent travel across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
• Any previous experience with the DACH market - sales, partnerships, projects, networking... all relevant
• Experience with IT/digital products and an understanding of the IT project lifecycle
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset
• Organized, reliable, and a real team player
